Add-on: Community Integrations
$49/year
Connect your Benecaster subscriber tiers to your community platform. One add-on covers both Discord and Circle.
Your community, gated by the tier they’re on.
A subscriber joins your top tier — they should get access to your private Discord channels automatically. A subscriber cancels — their access should be removed automatically. Community Integrations wires that up, so you’re not managing community access manually alongside subscription management.
Discord
- Bot token connection with tier-to-role mapping
- Automatic role assignment and removal on every subscription event
- Two subscriber verification paths: OAuth (recommended — no subscriber action needed beyond authorizing) and slash command fallback
- Episode announcement posting to tier-specific channels
{{discord_invite_url}}merge tag available in all Benecaster emails
Circle
- API key connection with tier-to-space mapping
- Automatic member management — Circle identifies members by email, so no subscriber verification step is required
{{circle_community_url}}merge tag in all Benecaster emails- Member tag mapping per tier
One add-on, one price — configure Discord, Circle, or both. Most podcasters use one platform; the second is included so your platform choice can change without requiring a new purchase.
Even More Powerful With
- Analytics Dashboard — subscription events that trigger community role changes (new subscriber, tier upgrade, cancellation) are visible alongside your growth metrics. Correlate community platform membership with feed activity and cohort retention in one view.
- Email Editor —
{{discord_invite_url}}and{{circle_community_url}}merge tags work in all Benecaster email templates, including welcome and episode notification emails. With Email Editor, these tags get full autocomplete support and are testable before any email reaches subscribers.
